Do you have any pics of this lovely lady?

I posted her previously in this thread as the Super Duper Automatic Incubator.

As a youngster

With hidden keets

With newly hatched poult

Unfortunately she is the one that the raccoon got last fall.

That's really too bad. She was a really nice looking bird. Did she hatch the poult or adopt it?

I thought about getting white lace red from a hatchery, but not sure the quality is meat type.

I got mine from Stromberg's and I really liked them. No matter what rooster I bred her to, it improved the meat factor and blockiness of the offspring.

x2. If the dog gets on my bed, I'll kick her in the ribs rather than relinquishing my space.

Meanie.

Hey, no dog of mine is going to disturb my beauty sleep.

Thank goodness! I imagine you are a might grumpy when you don't get your beauty sleep too.

Like a mother bear. Only worse.

She would hatch any kind of egg but I never allowed her to raise any of them. Guinea eggs can normally hatch anywhere from 26 to 28 days. She hatched every guinea egg she was given on day 26. Her daughter who was not quite a stubborn broody as she would hatch every guinea egg she was given on day 28. I believe the difference was that the daughter would spend more time off of the nest than she did.

Looking at the poll, how do you keep cats OFF the furniture. Especially, the kitchen table and other food preparation surfaces?


I got real good at terrorizing them so they wouldn't come near me. While I was at work, the cats would play. I'd find evidence and they'd join the witness protection program.

You can do like I do here. No cats are allowed in the house.
